Highest Earners in Fashion

Quick, name an industry where women earn more than men! According the the Financial Post, there is only one, and that field is modeling.

Ask anyone into fashion who the top earning supermodel is, and they'll quickly blurt out Gisele Bundchen. Ask them about the top male supermodels, and you'll likely be faced with perplexed faces or arguments over the answer.

The Financial Post cleared the confusion in an article revealing the estimated salaries of the world's top 10 male models. It turns out, the cream of the crop top out at about $500,000 a year.

Male models don't earn near as much as females doing the same thing. They also tend not to launch their own fashion lines, endorse lingerie or become TV hosts. Gisele, for example, has been cast for Hollywood films like Taxi and The Devil Wears Prada.

"To rank the models on our list, we combined advertising campaigns, editorial work and runway experience over the last two seasons, giving special consideration to prominence and scope where relevant," The Financial Post said of the male models. "Given the metrics, the list favors of-the-moment male models, not the established industry veterans."
